Colorado Freeride on Altitude Sports

Airing for the first time this Saturday on Altitude Sports at noon, it's going to be a full hour and it came out sick!
Don't miss it.
Guiding
Submitted by grskier on March 12, 2008 - 7:16pm. powderWell it's been an interesting few weeks and I'm behind in blogging. A few weeks ago I had a friend and my sister in town and got to guide them around. Showing stashes, favorite chutes, and generally trying to show them a good time. What I noticed is how many lines we've learned just this year, however, I also noticed how much terrain we really have that we don't explore nearly enough.

Snowmass continues to go off
Submitted by grskier on January 23, 2008 - 11:05am. extreme ridingI had the privilage to get out the last 5 days on Snowmass with a whole grip of different people. Friday was pretty mellow as the light was flat but there were still pockets of fresh if you knew where to look. I spent the day showing some friends from Taos around a few stashes (which delivered days if not weeks after the storm). Saturday was bluebird in the morning which ment we'd look for some lines. Going out with Dave (of Nitro fame) and Greg made for a good day (look for some shots of Dave and I in the photo gallery) with some fun lines skied. Sunday was more of the same but a
It seems like it has stopped

Well, now that we've gotten our average for January, after a absolutely killer December, sunshine is the name of the game. Snowmass is skiing amazingly right now! There is great coverage in a lot of areas (but be careful dropping bigger stuff, always probe your landings!).
